Question

Define extensive and intensive properties

Answer 1

An intensive property ( also called as bulk property , intensive property , etc.) is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the amount of material in the system.

An extensive property ( also called as extensive quantity , extensive variable , etc.) is one of that is additive for independent , non-interacting subsystems. It is directly proportional to the amount of material in the system.

Answer 2

An intensive property is a bulk property, meaning that it is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. 

an extensive property is additive for subsystems. This means the system could be divided into any number of subsystems, and the extensive property measured for each subsystem; the value of the property for the system would be the sum of the property for each subsystem.
